Hiya Will,
On 03-02-98, whilst lying in the gutter of the information super highway, I 
heard Will Hargrave whispering to Neil Croft about RJ-45 # or Cond ?,
 NC>> Fibre patches are absolutely obscene in price. I wonder how many
 NC>> you'd have to use to warrant buying the kit to make your own.
 WH> Even just the connectors - a bit of plastic - cost about 30 quid...
I haven't priced the components up but the time involved in making them up 
would probablt outweigh the costs.
 WH>>> ISTR FDDI is /another/ token ring type protocol...
 NC>> It is indeed a token based system. I don't think it's a protocol
 NC>> though. What's the layer above transport in the ISO OSI model?
 WH> Uh. Don't know.
Doh!
 WH> But anyone here ever used CDDI? Just interested :-)
Que?
